Capacitor Value Conversion Chart
Capacitor values are very often marked in different ways.
The chart below allows you to convert capacitor values easily. For example - A capacitor marked as 100n (100nF) will be the same value as a capacitor marked as 0.1u (0.1uF)
|
Microfarads
uF = 1 Farad x 10-6 |
Nanofarads
nF = 1 Farad x 10-9 |
Picofarads
pF = 1 Farad x 10-12 |

As you can see from the chart above Capacitor values are measured in Farads, but because a Farad is such a huge value it's not very usable, so values are measured in:
Microfarads (uF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000
Nanofarads (nF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000,000
Picofards (pF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000,000,000
